Change units in Reports

Need the ability to choose the units used in a report. Currently, my reports use kips and inches. When the density of material is shown it is listed as 0.000 because it is displaying to 3 decimal places. To show the value you have to change format to show six decimal places. You have to do this every time you generate a report. It would be much better to use units of lbs. so it would display the more familiar 0.283 (this is for steel).

    Thank you for posting this idea. Please note that the units are defined by your model. To change the units in the analytical workflow, chose the Display Options, change Section Properties>Density to the required units and update the report (you may need to reload the model). But the ability already exists.
